CREATING HOMES FOR BUSINESSES
August 22, 2022
Welcome to the Merritt Properties family! Merritt Properties is part of Merritt Companies -- a family of businesses that also includes Merritt Construction Services and Merritt Clubs. Molded by the work ethic and renowned integrity of our founder, Leroy Merritt, our three organizations believe in building lifelong relationships and want every customer to feel like a member of our family. As of August 22, 2022, Merritt Properties is the new owner of Crescent Business Center at 10396-10408 Lakeridge Parkway. With over 50 years of experience as a full-service commercial real estate firm, Merritt owns and manages over 19 million square feet of commercial space in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. We also have an unmatched reputation for our commitment to our customers. We look forward to bringing that attention to Richmond at Crescent Business Center. At Merritt, we design, build, lease and manage our properties for the long term and are committed to providing the highest quality of service to all of our customers. Should you have any questions regarding the building, your lease or your space, please call 703-858-2725. Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible. A few changes with the new ownership are detailed below: Property Management/Customer Service: Merritt Properties has retained Thalhimer to continue to provide property management services for Crescent Business Center. This means that your process for requesting service will remain the same. For all service requests, including after-hours emergencies, please call 804-344-7190, and a member of their Property Management Team will assist you. A non-emergency online service request portal is also available for your convenience, called Building Engines. If you have not already signed up for an account, please visit www.thalhimer.com/clients tenants-associates. Leasing: Merritt Properties shall provide all leasing services and has a dedicated leasing representative to assist you. If you have any questions regarding your lease or your office space, please contact Jamie Campbell at 410-298-2600. Design Services: Professional design services make the difference between a successful space and one that just never feels quite right. So, to help make the most of your space, we provide professional interior design and space planning services to customers – at no extra charge. If interested, please call 703-858-2725 and ask to speak with an interior designer. Rental Payments: As of September 2022, rent payments should be made payable to “Merritt Properties, LLC” and mailed to 2066 Lord Baltimore Drive, Baltimore, MD 21244. In the event you have already paid your September rent, there is no need to retract payment as it will be reconciled by Merritt and Thalhimer. Please be advised that Merritt will not send monthly rent invoices. It will be your responsibility to ensure that rent due under your lease is paid in full and on time. Enclosed please find Merritt’s W-9 for rental payments, see attachment 1. If you are interested in our Electronic Payment Program, please reach out to our Accounts Receivable team at ARportal@merrittproperties.com. Our online portal allows tenants to make payments, view invoices & leases and review your ledger. In addition, and if applicable, your security deposit has been transferred to Merritt.

Attachment 2: Emergency Notification System
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide a safe workplace for our customers, Merritt has partnered with AlertMedia to implement an emergency alert system that is now available to every employee in each of our buildings. Should there be an emergency or threat at one of our properties, we will utilize the AlertMedia platform to inform building occupants of a developing situation so they may seek safety, if necessary. Furthermore, we will be able to provide first responders with critical information throughout an event and share follow-up notifications with building occupants. Anyone listed as Emergency Primary, Emergency Alternate or Onsite on the enclosed Contact Information Form (Attachment 4) will be automatically added to this platform. However, every individual working within a Merritt building is strongly encouraged to register for these alerts utilizing the link below. During the registration process, employees will be able to select whether they wish to receive these alerts via email, text message and/or automated phone calls. Users may opt out at any time, and Merritt will never share contact information. We kindly ask for your assistance in distributing this information to all employees at your location. We also recommend that your company take this opportunity to educate your employees about your corporate emergency protocol. These alerts are for emergencies only—all other building alerts will be sent out via email from our marketing platform mentioned in Customer Update Emails (Attachment 3). All employees within our buildings are encouraged to sign up for this platform using the following link: RegisterForAlerts.merrittproperties.com. If you have any questions regarding this program, please reach out to Merritt’s Marketing Department at 410-298 2600 or marketing@merrittproperties.com.

Attachment 3: Customer Alert Emails

Attachment 4: Contact Information Form
Please complete the following form with current contact information for your company.

We would like to remind you that we will never share your contact information with outside companies or individuals. Please mail or e-mail the following contact sheet to the attention of Lease Administration using the information listed below. In addition, if at any time in the future this information needs to be updated, please contact Lease Administration with the changes either by phone 410-298-2600, email leaseadmin@merrittproperties.com or regular mail to Merritt’s corporate headquarters at 2066 Lord Baltimore Dr., Baltimore, MD 21244.
